Senior/Staff STPG Product Engineering - Probe
Core
Define and own probe coverage intent, establish limits and guard-bands, and drive yield, quality, and test-cost outcomes across the product lifecycle from pre-silicon to high-volume manufacturing.
Role type
Senior/Staff Product Engineering (Probe Strategy & Silicon Learning)
Builds
Probe strategies, test flows, and silicon characterization solutions for semiconductor products
Domain
Semiconductor manufacturing / Wafer testing / Silicon characterization
Required skills
Probe strategy definition, Silicon characterization, DFT architecture review, Yield analysis, Failure-mode analysis, Test flow optimization, Data-driven decision making, AI/ML application, Cross-functional collaboration, Risk assessment
Preferred skills
Advanced technology node experience, Large-scale manufacturing systems knowledge, AI/ML initiative leadership
Technologies
Engineering probe platforms, Lab-based characterization setups, AI/ML tools for predictive probe and smart sampling
Responsibilities
Define probe coverage intent by mapping design features and process risks into observability and screening mechanisms. Establish probe limits and guard-bands based on silicon characterization and customer specifications. Lead probe enablement for new product introductions and technology ramps. Partner with Design and DFT teams to drive effective design-to-probe staging and review DFT architecture. Perform silicon and device-level characterization to inform probe limits and screening strategy. Drive wafer-level yield learning, bin definitions, and failure-mode analysis. Balance coverage, yield, quality, and cost trade-offs using silicon data. Leverage data for anomaly detection and contribute to AI/ML initiatives for test optimization.
